The below Parliamentary question was asked by Tulip Siddiq on 2016-02-09.

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, pursuant to the Answer of 11 December 2015 to Question 19716, what proportion of oral appeals were not represented in each month of the last three years.

Karen Bradley

Further to my earlier response of 11 December 2015, the proportion of oral appeals where the Secretary of State for the Home Department was not represented for each month of the last three years is set out in the attached data table. As set out in my previous answer the proportion of oral appeals not represented increased between January – September 2015 in comparison to the previous 2 years. This was the result of the availability of presenting resource in the Home Office to match court listing schedules which varied from forecasts used for planning purposes to a significant extent. Resources were put in place to address this and representation rates increased in the final three months of the calendar year.

To ask the Secretary of State for Health, how many and what proportion of Personal Medical Services contracts by general practices in (a) Hampstead and Kilburn, (b) London and (c) England have been reviewed by NHS England; and in how many such cases have the surgeries been advised of the future funding arrangements to financial year 2021-22.

Alistair Burt

NHS England carried out a stocktake of progress in completing Personal Medical Services (PMS) reviews in December 2015. This found:

a) There are 10 PMS practices in Hampstead and Kilburn; none of these have had a PMS contract review as yet;

b) 620 (100%) PMS contract reviews are still to be completed in London; and

c) 1,847 (61%) PMS contract reviews have been completed in England.

The proposed London-wide contract and funding has been communicated to practices. Camden Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG) and Brent CCG commissioning intentions are currently being agreed and will be communicated to practices in line with the timetable.

Since 2011, the Department has provided funding to both NHS Blood and Transplant (NHSBT) and Anthony Nolan to support the improvement of provision of stem cells in the United Kingdom. Details for each of the last four complete financial years is as follows:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how many referrals her Department has made to the children’s section of the Refugee Council related to detainees in immigration removal centres who her Department believed to be children in each year since 2009-10.

James Brokenshire

Since the Home Secretary announced the immediate closure of Yarl’s Wood for families with children on 16 December 2010 it has not been the policy of Her Majesty’s Government to detain those we believe are children whilst their asylum claims are under consideration. We do not have records for the number of referrals made in 2009-10.

To ask Mr Chancellor of the Exchequer, which developing countries will be able to access data on the beneficial ownership of companies incorporated in (a) other EU countries and (b) British Overseas Territories.

The below Parliamentary question was asked by Tulip Siddiq on 2016-05-03.

To ask Mr Chancellor of the Exchequer, with reference to tables 1.2 and 1.4 of HM Revenue and Customs’ document, Measuring tax gaps, published in October 2013, what assessment HM Revenue and Customs has made of the reasons for which the corporation tax gap for large businesses has narrowed as a percentage while the overall percentage tax gap for large businesses has remained the same since 2009-10; and if he will estimate the large business tax gap for each tax in each year since 2009-10.

Mr David Gauke

HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) published its latest tax gap estimates on 22 October 2015 in Measuring tax gaps 2015 edition, which is available at: https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/470540/HMRC-measuring-tax-gaps-2015-1.pdf

Tables 1.2 and 1.4 of the Measuring tax gaps 2015 edition show different information. Table 1.2 looks specifically at the large business Corporation Tax gap as a percentage of theoretical liabilities for large business Corporation Tax, and Table 1.4 expresses the tax gap for all large businesses taxes (including VAT and income taxes) as a percentage of all theoretical liabilities for all HMRC customer groups. Trends in tax gaps for specific taxes and customer groups are different.

Measuring Tax Gaps does not include full detailed segmentation, such as the requested large business customer group by type of tax, as a number of segments at this level are not sufficiently robust for publication. Table 6.9 on page 53 provides information on the estimated tax gap for large employers.
